The Harbor Point Ice Festival is set to make a grand return to Baltimore’s waterfront on Saturday, January 24, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Harbor Point Central Plaza.
This year’s festival promises to transform the plaza into a magical winter wonderland featuring circus-themed ice sculptures and live entertainment.
